Company Hi-Jacking

Every company in business regisitered home in the United Kingdom now faces a new threat to their business in the form of 'Company Hi-jacking. "This is when a company's identity is stolen by fraudsters. 
These criminals simply submit a forged form to Companies House, a change of domicile of the company to a new location. 


Using the selected company and the name of the new direction, they are then able to carry out fraudulent activities, obtaining credit to purchase goods and services. This form of fraud is estimated at 50 million pounds a year for the industry. 



As a company of high-cats is increasing, the Metropolitan Police Service and the companies are home urgently advising companies to take simple preventive measures to minimize your company's identity to be of high Jack, including: 


1. Immediately check your company's registered details are correct and have not been fraudulently changed - Search creditgate.com FREE now. 


2. IMMEDIATELY subscribe to an online monitoring service that notifies you by email if changes are made to your company details to the home business in the future - Subscribe to this free service now www.creditgate.com. 


3. Immediately start using a credit reference agency to meet you that each new customer is legitimate and credible - www.creditgate.com provide a full range of credit reports and Companies House documents, which are available in instantly online. 


House of companies have warned that a growing number of small businesses are victims of the corporate version of identity theft, sometimes known as a Form 287 scam, a reference to the name of the Chamber of Business is completed when requesting a change of registered office. 


House of companies have introduced electronic filing and e-mail alerts to notify companies about the receipt of documents, but Creditgate believe that the system remains fundamentally flawed because Companies House only keeps a record of which documents are received, instead of checking the accuracy of the documents. What is also very worrying is that companies can not get fraudulent information removed from their file without a court ruling, although there is overwhelming evidence that identity theft has occurred.
